Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for organizing and displaying multimedia content to subscribers are inadequate, as they fail to effectively personalize and efficiently manage the growing variety of content sources and formats across multiple devices.

Innovation Solution

A user interface system that utilizes video frame tiles, where media renderings of content are generated and organized based on relevance, with the ability to update frame rates and display content sources or pieces of content according to user preferences and access history, allowing for dynamic filtering and viewer-specific content presentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional content display methods are used, then content can be displayed on multiple devices, but content organization and personalization become inadequate as content variety increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent personalizationVSAvoidcontent management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The content display interface is segmented into multiple video frame tiles, each representing a different content source or piece of content. This segmentation allows the system to organize and manage diverse content types (live TV, recorded content, on-demand content, streaming content) in a structured, tile-based layout that can be independently controlled and personalized for each tile while maintaining overall system coherence across multiple devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple content sources and formats are supported, then content variety increases, but content organization becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent source compatibilityVSAvoidcontent organization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The video frame tile interface serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays different content sources (live TV, recorded content, on-demand content, streaming content), provides personalized content selection, enables filtering by category, and maintains consistent organization across various devices. This universal tile-based approach handles diverse content formats through a single, unified interface paradigm, making content organization straightforward despite the variety of sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If content is organized by relevance and user preferences, then user engagement improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video frame tile interface dynamically adapts its content based on user interactions, preferences, and access history. The system automatically updates tile content, adjusts frame rates for selected tiles, and reorganizes content based on relevance without requiring complex manual configuration. This dynamic behavior enhances user engagement while the automated nature of the adjustments prevents interface complexity from increasing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the provisioning of a user interface with video frame tiles. Specific content sources or pieces of content may be identified according to various parameters, and media renderings of the associated content may be generated. The media renderings may be processed at a device receiving the content, and a user interface including one or more of the media renderings may be generated. The media renderings may be organized within the user interface as individual video frame tiles.
